Looking for a exciting “green” community event to support?

Then join us and be a part of the 4th annual Bike to Work Day Winnipeg on June 24th, 2011.

Bike to Work Day is an initiative of the City of Winnipeg and Bike to the Future. It was created by a group of avid cyclists to raise awareness of issues surrounding cycling in the city. It promotes cycling as a an alternative type of commuting which benefits not only the rider but also the community by reducing pollution and traffic congestions. This year Bike to Work Day also aims to celebrate new bike-friendly infrastructure in Winnipeg by spreading the word and inviting new commuters to join in with the event! Similar events held in cities across Canada and the United States see thousands of people out on their bikes for one exciting day, or week, or month a year. Last year nearly 2000 cyclists were counted riding to work on the event day. With your support we are expecting even more this year.

But it’s more than just one day. Bike to Work Day 2011 will also host a celebration of cycling culture by partnering with various cultural organizations, cycling shops and service companies to create a “countdown to Bike to Work Day” with events and discounts for riders around the city. This is a foundation building initiative in order to expand to a week long festival in upcoming years.

Lead-up to Bike to Work Day will also include media coverage, participation drives with workplaces and individuals, website promotion and more.
